Here's what the humans have to say about me:
DIXIE***CONTACT MICHELLE mmay@kylabrescue.com****DIXIE'S STORY---WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ONE OF THE HIGHEST KILL SHELTERS IN THE SOUTH TELLING US THAT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FLUFFY PUPPY WAS IN HER SHELTER. "SHE IS THE MOST GORGEOUS PUPPY, SO SWEET AND LOVING. WE ARE BEYOND FULL, OUR SITUATION IS URGENT. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP HER?" WAS THE DIRECTOR'S PLEA TO US. THE MINUTE WE SAW THE PICTURE SHE SENT US OF THIS BEAUTIFUL PUP WE COULDN'T GET TO HER FAST ENOUGH. THE MINUTE WE SAW THE PUPPY AND CALLED TO HER SHE IMMEDIATELY CAME RUNNING OVER TO US, TAIL WAGGING GIVING US MANY MANY PUPPY KISSES. THE LITTLE ROLY POLY PUPPY WE NAMED DIXIE LEFT THE HIGH KILL SHELTER THAT DAY AND HER TAIL HASN'T STOPPED WAGGING.****DIXIE--HAPPY--PLAYFUL--ADORABLE!!! DIXIE IS A SHOW STOPPING, 5-6 MO. OLD, GOLDEN RETRIEVER/BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER, TWO TERRIFIC BREEDS, ONE "TERRIFIC" BEAUTIFUL PUPPY!! IF YOU PUT TOGETHER A WISH LIST OF EVERY TRAIT THAT YOU WOULD EVER WANT IN A COMPANION PUP CHANCES ARE IT WOULD BE DIXIE. THE FIRST THING THAT WILL CATCH YOUR EYE IS WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL SHE IS. HER COAT IS CASCADES OF "HIGH GLOSS" BLACK WAVES, SO SHINY IT LOOKS LIKE DIXIE JUST JUMPED OUT OF A BIG POOL OF WATER AND BEING THE COMBINATION OF TWO WATER LOVIN BREEDS WHEN IT'S WARMER THIS IS A VERY STRONG POSSIBILITY. HER COAT FEELS LIKE VELVET, CUDDLE SOFT, YOU WILL WANT TO PAT AND RUB THIS LITTLE DOLL ALL DAY WHICH AS MUCH AS SHE LOVES AFFECTION AND ATTENTION IS JUST FINE IN HER BOOK. HER EYES WILL ABSOLUTELY MAKE YOU MELT, THEY ARE A WARM, DARK GOLDEN COLOR AND SPARKLE WITH AN ADORABLE "LOVE ME & LET'S PLAY", EXPRESSION WHEN SHE SEES YOU. NOT ONLY IS DIXIE BEYOND BEAUTIFUL JUST WAIT TIL YOU MEET HER NOW THE FUN BEGINS. SHE IS OUR TRUE "LIFE IS GOOD" PUPPY, ONE OF THE HAPPIEST AND SWEETEST PUPS WE HAVE SEEN. FROM THE MINUTE THOSE SPARKLING EYES POP OPEN IN THE MORNING TIL SHE SNUGGLES ON HER BIG FLUFFY BED AT NIGHT ALL TIRED FROM A DAY OF PLAY THIS LITTLE GIRL IS HAPPY 24/7 AND LET'S YOU KNOW IT. EVERYDAY IS A HOLIDAY AS FAR AS DIXIE IS CONCERNED. THIS PEOPLE LOVING MISS ADORES EVERYONE SHE MEETS, NEVER MEETS A STRANGER SHE ALSO ENJOYS THE COMPANY OF OTHER DOGS JUST A PLAY BUDDY FOR DIXIE AND DIXIE LOVES TO PLAY!!!(SHE'S EVEN FINE WITH CATS). DIXIE IS THE TYPE OF PUP WHO'S WORLD CENTERS AROUND THOSE SHE LOVES. A DELIGHTFUL FAMILY COMPANION WHO ONLY WANTS TO BELONG. ANYTHING YOUR DAY CALLED FOR IS FINE WITH DIXIE, JUST TAKE HER ALONG. SHE WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO THE LIVES OF A COUPLE, SINGLE GUY OR GIRL OR A FAMILY WITH CHILDREN(DIXIE ADORES CHILDREN) WHO ARE WANTING A NEW BEST FRIEND TO LOVE. A FAMILY THAT TAKES TO THE OUTDOORS ON THE WEEKEND HIKING, JOGGING, OFF TO THEIR CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS SO DIXIE COULD RUN, CHASE STICKS, DIVE IN THE BIGGEST SNOW BANK SHE CAN FIND, EXPLORE NEW TRAILS, DIXIE'S PERFECT DAY!!!. NOT ONLY IS DIXIE A FUN, EXTREMELY HAPPY LITTLE GIRL NOW LET'S ADD SMART TO THE MIX, AND BOY IS SHE. SHE IS A TRUE "OPEN BOOK" READY TO LEARN AND EXCEL IN ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TEACH HER. SHE IS A PUP WHO IS ALERT, INQUISITIVE, VERY AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND HER. SHE FINDS ANYTHING NEW YOU INTRODUCE HER TO INTERESTING AND A CHALLENGE. SHE IS TOY AND TREAT MOTIVATED WHICH MAKES TRAINING A BREEZE. THE SKY'S THE LIMIT FOR A PUP AS SMART AS DIXIE. IF YOU WOULD REVIEW YOUR CHECK LIST ABOUT WHAT TRAITS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IN A COMPANION PUP AND AFTER READING ABOUT DIXIE WE THINK YOU'LL AGREE THAT SHE HAS EVERY TRAIT YOU HAD CHECKED ON YOU LIST. SHE IS SO HAPPY--ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT EVERYDAY--A LOYAL COMPANION--PLAYFUL-- EXTREMELY SMART--LOVING AND JUST BEYOND ADORABLE. IF YOU DECIDE TO BRING THIS FAMILY COMPANION PUP INTO YOUR LIFE YOU WILL BE REWARDED EVERYDAY SHE IS WITH YOU WITH TAIL WAGS, A KISS ON THE CHEEK AND A PUP WHO EVERY TIME SHE SEES YOU HER GORGEOUS EYES HAVE A LOOK THAT SEEMS TO BE SAYING "I LOVE YOU" SHE DOES!!!!
